EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases two exquisite parrot species: the Green-rumped Parrotlet (Forpus passerinus) and the Blue-crowned Hanging-parrot (Loriculus galgulus). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Green-rumped Parrotlet, also known as the Green Sosola or the Green-rumped Conure, is a small, brightly colored parrot native to South America. With its emerald green back and rump, contrasting against its yellow underparts, this parrot is a true visual delight. The Green-rumped Parrotlet is known for its agility and playful nature, making it a popular choice among bird enthusiasts. The Blue-crowned Hanging-parrot, on the other hand, is a medium-sized parrot native to Southeast Asia. This parrot is easily recognizable by its distinctive blue crown, which contrasts sharply with its green body and red tail. The Blue-crowned Hanging-parrot is an omnivorous bird, feeding on fruits, seeds, and insects. It is known for its ability to cling to vertical surfaces, making it an excellent climber and a skilled hanger. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this hand-colored lithograph, which showcases their vibrant colors and unique features. The artwork is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographer, as well as the meticulous attention to detail that was common in ornithological illustrations of the time. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of bird art or natural history, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the avian world.
